For all of the people who mention how many times his team has made the playoffs, they neglect to mention that he’s often not included on the playoff roster…

It should be noted that he was left off the postseason roster in 2006 when the Cards won the WS and he was healthy. Do teams leave key pieces off the roster in the postseason? No way. Garbage.

Fri, 06 May 2011 04:00:00 +0000http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/?p=49361#comment-719376I absolutely love these guys (Morton, Masterson, Scherzer, Marquis) finding succes with a new approach/speed. Changing speeds, using movement, in the strike zone (except Morton).

Scherzer is top shelf talent, but the rest are having success getting batters to brat the hell out of the grass. Good for them.

Another thread talked about lower run environments. I’m sure there’s various reasons and it is early, but we might see some really low HR/9 rates this year from SP … ala, Jamie Garcia from 2010.

No mention of Marquis’s value as a batter and pinch runner? He really is living the dream.

It had different circumstances, with Gorzy going to the Nats whereas Marquis will be leaving Washington (under these scenarios)… but it paints a close enough picture. The playing field between Gorzy and Marquis isn’t a huge difference (I realize they’re different pitchers). Being younger, a lefty, and (I think?) cost-controlled a little longer, I’d probably give Gorzy an edge. And the Cubs got shit for him.

So enjoy Eric Wedge’s old Cav calender if anything.

If he could bring a younger arm or perhaps a very young 1st baseman with an upside, it would be great for the Nats.

Thats TEN straight years of being on a post-season team. Coincidence, i think not!

The question is what happened to the 2010 Washington Nationals?

I would go with the desk calendar previously offered, I don’t think any superior offers will be coming down the pike…

Wed, 04 May 2011 21:05:29 +0000http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/?p=49361#comment-716980Yeah, if anything I would say he’s their highest upside arm of the pitchers who started the year with the team.

Although I do agree that the reflexive property does still apply to him.
